أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ سَمِعْتُ نَافِعًا يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ کَانَ يَقُولُ نَهَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَبِيعَ بَعْضُکُمْ عَلَی بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ وَلَا يَخْطُبُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَی خِطْبَةِ الرَّجُلِ حَتَّی يَتْرُکَ الْخَاطِبُ قَبْلَهُ أَوْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُ الْخَاطِبُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3251
‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr used to say: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم forbade offering more for something that has already been bought by his brother, or for a man to propose marriage to a woman when someone else had already proposed to her, unless the previous suitor gave up the idea or gave him permission.” (Sahih)
